At age 13-14, Crossfrown was an active member of the fanime community before it had even concentrated into groups; her art was better than almost every single fanime artist at that time, thanks to following criticism as much as possible instead of blindly ignoring it, and proper study of anatomy. Perfectionism and overworking due to a constant need for attention sent her careening down into a depressed and timid little creature who decided to switch to drawing random things instead.
